I have already written my reviews of some of the awesome Catholic products I found at the National Catholic Education Association conference a few weeks ago, including the Catholic Children’s Bible and Brother Francis’ My Heavenly Friends prayer card collection, but I only briefly mentioned Tiny Saints as a cool Sacrament gift.

The Pinterest Prayer Book
April 30, 2013 by 4 Comments
Isn’t Pinterest fun? My only challenge about pinterest…is how to really use it to create things to help my family! It’s so easy to pin pretty pictures, but sometimes they just gather on my pinboards and I don’t actually try the craft or recipe. I have been delighted to discover awesome artists who I would not have found without pinterest, but I don’t always remember to visit my ‘artwork’ pinboard to admire all of the work. Together with prayers I have managed to find and pin, I have created a new Prayer Book Pinboard, but this time…I have an action plan! This collection will be used to build something!

Bill and I met almost 21 years ago at my first Young Adult meeting at St Patrick’s Parish. He was leading the group…and I was just checking out the Catholic scene at home, after returning from my 2nd year in Architecture in a city 5 hours away.

Cool to be Catholic Sacrament Gifts!
April 14, 2013 by 4 Comments
Sacraments are wonderful occasions that we hope to have a lasting impact on our day to day life, prayer life and family culture!
Part of the day inevitably involves gift-giving to help to mark the special day. I have spoken with many parents and Godparents and Confirmation sponsors who have on occasion been at a loss for a unique gift to give to a child. Looking for something to help the child remember their First Sacrament and grow in their Catholic Faith…can be difficult and many resort to secular gifts or cash because they are not sure what to buy and even more uncertain where to find it.
Saint Cards at the NCEA!

One of my favorite things about attending the National Catholic Education Association conference each year is to discover new Catholic products. Sometimes, some of these cool publishers and awesome Catholic businesses give me a certain product that catches my eye, in exchange for my honest review on my blog.
